Miele VITA-75-SC user manual

Miele dishwashers are known for their thorough cleaning and efficiency, but they also have long cycle times. This is due to several reasons:
1. Sensor Technology: Miele dishwashers use advanced sensor technology to determine the cleanliness of the water during the wash. If the sensors detect that the water is still dirty, the dishwasher will continue running until the water is clean. This can lengthen the cycle time.
2. Energy Efficiency: Miele dishwashers are designed to be energy efficient. One way they achieve this is by using less water and heating the water more slowly, which can extend the washing and drying cycles.
3. Program Selection: Miele dishwashers have various program selections for different types of dishes and levels of dirtiness. Some programs, like SaniWash or Pots & Pans, have longer cycle times because they provide a more intensive cleaning.
4. Drying Method: Miele dishwashers use a condensation drying method. This system is energy efficient and reduces the risk of plastic items getting damaged, but it takes longer than other drying methods.
5. ComfortClean: Miele dishwashers have a ComfortClean feature, which is a self-cleaning program. If this is selected, it adds additional time to the cycle.
Remember, the reason for a long wash cycle is not a drawback but a feature, to ensure the utmost cleaning of your dishes. However, if the dishwasher is taking exceptionally longer than it should, there may be a problem that needs to be checked by a professional.

A Miele dishwasher is known for its high-quality and durability. On average, a Miele dishwasher should last around 15-20 years with regular use and proper maintenance. However, this lifespan can vary depending on factors such as usage patterns, maintenance, and individual product quality.

No, you do not need rinse aid when using the Miele power disk. The power disk is a self-contained detergent that includes a rinse aid component, so using additional rinse aid is not necessary.
